Founder and CEO of American Majority Ned Ryun stated Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s “weakness” on the Israel-Hamas war could cost him the White House as the 2024 presidential election draws closer.

Ryun, a panelist on “The Ingraham Angle,” discussed Biden’s “incredible weakness,” specifically detailing the president’s relaxed policies against Iran, even amid reports alleging that the country backed Hamas’ attack on Israel.

“They are incredibly weak amateurs. Biden is weakness personified, but it’s his weakness that has brought us to this place and his weakness in dealing with Iran,” Ryun stated.

“I think they’re in a really difficult place politically here at home because the rabid left, which is the Democratic base, is very antisemitic, is very pro-Palestinian. And if they go too hard on this issue, you have the 2024 elections coming up. And if they alienate that rabid left they’re gonna go to Cornel West — you lose three or four points in the battleground states, you’ve lost the White House.” (RELATED: ‘Who The Hell Does He Think He Is?’: Former WH Press Secretary Torches Biden For ‘Blunders’ On Israel Trip)

The Biden administration made a deal with Iran in September to release $6 billion in frozen assets to the country as part of a prisoner exchange deal. However, some Republicans criticized the move to release the funds, stating it would give the country more money to possibly support terrorist groups.

“Giving the regime access to funds in any form frees up money for Iran to spend on malign activities, including support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Republican Texas Rep. Michael McCaul and 19 others to Biden wrote.

While the $6 billion came into the spotlight after the attack, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby rejected the idea that the money was used by Iran to fund Hamas’ attack on Israel, The Hill reported.

In addition to tensions overseas, the war between Israel and Hamas has caused pressure amongst people in the U.S. as well. As a response to Hamas’ attack Israel announced a “total blockade” of the Gaza Strip in order to target the terrorist group, warning Gaza residents to evacuate the city. Major cities across the U.S. saw pro-Palestine protests with some progressive lawmakers facing backlash over their response to the conflict.

Student organizations at Ivy League universities, such as Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, rallied to blame Israel for the Hamas attack, with some even calling Israel an “apartheid regime.” Student responses to the Hamas attack resulted in many major donors and alumni pulling their funding from universities across the country.
